Lyrics

1. On Your ascension, Lord, alone my fervent hope is founded. The doubt and fear to which I'm prone are overcome, confounded. Now Christ, the Head, in heaven waits and when God's time is right, He takes His own to join the Father.
2. The Lord arose to heav'nly heights, a place for me preparing; how great, Lord Jesus, my delight once glory to be sharing! Through grace You drew me to that place; already now my heart embrace; for You is all my yearning.
3. Oh, Lord, that by Your grace I may, on my ascension morning, the Spirit's fruits with joy display that are my soul adorning. Then may I too on Your return, transfigured with Your own have earned to enter heav'nly glory.
